“Yes…. but I will tell you about the details some other time, right now I have got to hurry . I am almost late. Thank you so much for the ride” she appreciated him and quickly went to the building. It was remaining only 5 minutes before 8.00AM, the time that she was supposed to be reporting to work. Mmh… she sighed with a relief the moment she reached her office.“Hello Mercy” she greeted.“Good morning Camila. I am glad that you didn’t leave, I would have been lonely and I am sure that I wouldn’t have found a good and gorgeous boss like you.” the woman couldn’t help but state.Camila only glanced at her and proceeded to her office. She liked her assistant but sometimes she talked too much.Right then she realized that she had forgotten something very crucial. She was sure that she had carried it, her laptop was something that she didn’t mess around with. It had so many important data that she wouldn’t have liked to lose.Mercy came in to bring her coffee and she saw how unsettled sh
“Yeah, I know that you are happy. Camila, how can you be this heartless sometimes?” he asked with an icy mood. His only consolation was to have to look at her one last time before he got in the plane but he was very disappointed.“I will tell Lucky to give you a call. She hasn’t seen you for a while now and he has been pressuring me about you” Camila remembered the conversation they had with Lucky and if she didn’t get to see Samuel for the next one week she was sure that the girl won’t leave her in peace.That girl took her stubbornness.Samuel managed a smile, it has been hard for him to stay away ,but hearing that the sweet innocent girl who melted his cold heart still thought of him made him happy” alright I will await your call, don’t fail to tell her that I still love her despite all this.”He hesitated and looked even more stressed.“Camila, remember to take care of Leo, he is in bad shape now with all that has happened. He doesn’t even talk to me lately. I want you to be the
Quickly she instructed the driver that she will be taking Leo to her house and he will be sleeping over. The driver didn’t have a problem since he had been instructed by Samuel to let Camila have unlimited access to Leo. In the end Samuel still trusted that she could make his son happy.“Alright, I will drop you off at the apartment, then I will go and inform Sophia that Leo won’t be coming to the mansion” the driver said with a slight grin on his face, he also knew how much Samuel appreciated the woman.“Thank you for your understanding” Camila said.A moment later the driver dropped them on her gate. Camila took both of the kid’s hands and led them to the house. Leo was starting to warm up as he was seen making small conversations with Lucky. What they were discussing about was a mystery to Camila. But she didn’t care as long as she was able to bring the joy in his heart, then it won’t bother her what they were discussing about.She prepared dinner as promised. The kids ate until th
Camila too was dying to find out how he was doing. She was still worried about him somehow and the thought of hearing his magnetic voice brought warmth in her heart. After all whatever may happen between them in the future, she was already in love with the man.The phone rang and he didn’t hesitate to pick it up. It has been so lonely from the moment he touched down on the foreign country and it would be nice to hear familiar voices. He particularly wanted to listen to Camila’s sweet voice.“Hello Samuel, did you reach well?” Camila asked with concern.“With an obviously tired voice he replied “I am okay, Camila. I just feel home sick. Are my kids with you? Are they okay?” this statement never failed to make her happy. Until this moment, she couldn’t believe that this man whom she met out from the blue took Lucky as his completely.Tears welled on her eyes as she hesitated” Camila, what is the matter with you? Samuel wondered why the phone went silent all of a sudden.Camila sniffed,
That night Camila still had the kids with her, she had requested Sophia to take some days off as she will be taking care of the kids until Samuel comes back. She called her father and talked to him for a few moment. She hadn’t talked to him for a while and as a good daughter, she had to make sure that things were okay with him.Her father only had complains” Camila, I am not doing well at all. The company is giving me a lot of sleepless nights. We are just struggling. I am even wondering what will happen when the time comes for me to hand it over to you.” He was concerned.“Dad, don’t worry about so many things. I know somehow the company will pull through, we are just facing hard economic conditions and very soon things will normalize” she consoled him.Luke listened to her daughter and felt like he was the worst dad in the whole world. He had promised to help her look for her missing son but up to now he wasn’t even doing anything. It was about time for him to stand up and make Cami
Luke Carson arrived and was surprised to see a common figure in the industry. At first he was happy with the possibility that he came to make business deal with him but then again he wasn’t sure about it after observing him keenly.The guy looked somehow untrustworthy. It gave him a bad vibe immediately.“Hello, Mr Carson” he greeted casually as they were seated in his big office.“Hello, Mr. Chandler, it is an honor to have you here at our company. How may we help you? I am sure that this is the first time we are meeting each other. I have learned that you never deal with average companies like ours but nevertheless I am just thrilled to have to do business with you”He laughed immediately, what a stupid old man? Does he think that I can waste my fortune in this insignificant company? “You are wrong here, Mr. Carson. I won when I went gambling and this company here is mine. It belongs to me, so it is about time that you think about vacating it. The new management will come soon ” he
Quickly Camila hurriedly went to the road and hailed a taxi which took her straight to the hospital. Nothing should happen to her father. They have grown close together lately and she really appreciated him.Seeing him lying on the hospital bed with his oxygen on, pierced her heart. He looked so weak and vulnerable. She must have been busy and didn’t pay him much attention. There and then, she promised herself that if her father should get well , she would take care of him more.“Dad, what happened to you?” Camila asked as he caressed his face. It was like he felt her hands and he quickly woke up. As much as Luke never wanted to admit it in the past, this girl was the apple of his eyes. He would do anything to erase the terrible past but he just couldn’t. His eyes were blood shot and his face was pale. He looked like he has aged some years more. “Don’t worry honey, age has just caught up with me. I didn’t think that I can be admitted in this damn hospital when things weren’t going o
There were so many things going on in her mind, but unfortunately, she couldn’t come up with an explanation. She couldn’t even put a name to who had the audacity to harm her father, so she asked absent mindedly “But who did Stella gamble the company to?”“It is me.” a deep familiar voice suddenly spoke bringing her out of her reverie. Camila thought that she heard it all wrong but it was true. The man standing at the door of the hospital was none other than Evans Chandler himself. She thought that she had gotten rid of him but apparently she was wrong.“You…..what do you have against my father?” Camila asked.He continued to advance on them” nothing personal, it was just that there was some unfinished business between the two of us and someone came between us. So I thought hard and learned that there was some wicked woman who can help me take my revenge.”Camila looked at her father with teary eyes.” Dad, I am sorry. It is all my fault. I am a very bad daughter, would you forgive me”
